Impact

Rivers continues to thrive in the starting point guard role, as he's now posted four consecutive double-digit scoring efforts. He's shot at least 40 percent in each of those contests while taking no less than 14 shot attempts. Rivers has been particularly hot from long distance, as he's drained multiple threes in each of those games as well and is shooting 48.6 percent from behind the arc in five December outings overall.

News

Rivers recorded 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact

Rivers led the team in scoring again, finishing with an efficient 23 points. He also led the team in minutes played, a situation that he could likely find himself in most nights moving forward. Danilo Gallinari returned in this game, and he should take some of the pressure off Rivers. With the lack of options left on the roster, Rivers should now be owned in most league formats.

News

Impact

Rivers had the hot hand in this game, and poured in an efficient 30 points in the narrow loss. High field-goal percentage is not a known strength for Rivers, so those people who have him on their teams should not get used to it. The Clippers are ravaged by injuries and appear headed for the lottery. With so many players on the sidelines, Rivers will be free to put up as many shots as he can in as many minutes as he can. He should be owned in most league formats until further notice.

News

Impact

Rivers' play was one of the few bright spots on the night for the Clippers in the blowout defeat. The 25-year-old has four consecutive double-digit scoring efforts and has put up between 11 and 18 shot attempts in the eight games that Patrick Beverley (knee) has missed since Nov. 10. With Beverley out the remainder of the season, Rivers should continue seeing a robust usage rate while manning the point on an offense that will also be without Blake Griffin (knee) for an extended period.

News

Rivers (ankle) is available to play in Friday's game against the Thunder, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact

Rivers suffered a mild ankle sprain in Thursday's practice and was subsequently listed as questionable for Friday's contest. it appears as though the team was being cautious with his designation, as he will give it a go Friday. Depending how well his ankle holds up he could see some increased run with Patrick Beverley (knee) sidelined.

News

Rivers is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder with a mild left ankle sprain, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact

Rivers picked up the injury in practice Thursday. While the issue doesn't appear to be anything overly serious, it leaves his status for Friday up in the air. Things should clear up closer to tipoff; if he's unable to play, look for Juwan Evans and Lou Williams to see some increased run.

News

Rivers recorded 24 points (10-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds, and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-107 loss to the Spurs.

Impact

Rivers finished with season highs in scoring and field goals made and attempted while earning 32-plus minutes for the seventh time in 10 games. Milos Teodosic (foot) is still out indefinitely, and Danilo Gallinari (hip) will have a couple days to rest before Friday's matchup with the Thunder. Whether the latter returns immediately or not, the former is the one who should probably be seen as threatening to Rivers' role. As a result, Rivers seems likely to remain a factor in most fantasy leagues.

News

Impact

Rivers bounced back from a forgettable 2-for-10 shooting performance in Monday's blowout loss to the Warriors, which led to a measly five-point tally. The 25-year-old guard does have four double-digit scoring efforts in the last five contests with the help of some long-distance marksmanship, as he's shot a blistering 53.8 percent (14-for-26) from three-point range over that span. While his production outside of the scoring categories is a erratic, Rivers remains a viable option in all formats due to his scoring contributions.

News

Impact

Sunday's performance might have been the final statement Rivers needed to make to stake a claim for a spot in the starting lineup. Rivers drained six threes in the game, which were the only field goals he converted. If this trend holds, Rivers has thrust himself into fantasy relevance as a starter in arguably the league's biggest surprise thus far. They'll host Golden State on Monday.

News

Rivers (finger) will play Saturday against the Pistons, Brad Turner of the LA Times reports.

Impact

Rivers sustained an injury to his right pinkie during Thursday's win in Portland, but X-Rays cleared him of any major damage, and the guard will be available in his usual role Saturday. Rivers has played 35 minutes in each of the last two contests, finishing with 16 points in both outings.
